Sangria is one of the most popular drinks in Spanish cuisine. It is commonly served in bars, restaurants, and festivities throughout Spain and Portugal. Clericó is a similar beverage made with white wine and is popular in Latin America.

You don’t necessarily want to use your best wine for this drink since your mixing other ingredients into it. One of the beauties of this drink is that you can use a variety of different wines in the recipe mix. Often a wine that hasn’t been finished the day before will find its way into the drink.

The beauty of this drink is that it’s as delicious as it is easy, and it only gets better as you spice it up with fruits, spices, or herbs of your choice.

The History of Sangria

Sangria is believed to have originated more than 2,000 years ago when the Roman army produced and fortified their wine with spices and herbs on the Iberian Peninsula because the drinking water was unsafe.

Under EU regulations only Spain and Portugal can label their product as Sangria; similar products from different regions are differentiated by using a different name.
